• Manager insists Brazil playmaker will not be allowed to join Barcelona • ‘Liverpool is not a club that has to sell players. That is set in stone’

Jürgen Klopp has insisted Liverpool will not accept any bids for Philippe Coutinho after the club rejected an improved £90m offer for the Brazil playmaker.

Barça returned with their latest bid for the 25-year-old on Wednesday having had an offer of €80m (£72m) rejected last month and, speaking to Sky Germany, Klopp was adamant that Liverpool are committed to retaining their best players.
